This thesis presents a low-power RF receiver (Rx) front end that incorporates a low-power Low Noise Ampli er (LNA) and a passive reflection-type Phase Shifter (PS) capable of continuous phase shift, operating in the 4.5–7.5-GHz band. The LNA topology comprises of a cascode stage that increases ampli...
